ASSIGNED NUMBERS

Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context.

VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - We see a snake come close to a teen boy; the boy's heart races and we see him calm the snake down and later see the snake resting its head on the boy's leg until the boy is awoken when his father and a teen girl come crashing through the door causing the snake to slither next to the girl's feet; the boy jumps in front of the girl, preventing her from being bitten and another teen boy runs into the room holding a machete over his head to kill the snake; the snake bites the teen boy, he immediately vomits (we see the vomit leave his mouth) and passes out, hitting the ground; the man grabs the teen boy and carries him quickly through the woods and we later see the boy wake up in a hospital and hooked up to oxygen and an IV (he appears to be recovering); the teen girl thanks the teen boy and he remarks that he had "saved her blood from being rapidly oxygenated."► A teen boy lunges at a rabbit on a trap and we hear a squishing noise as the teen boy lowers a large sword; we then see the boy butchering the rabbit, cutting along it's torso and slowly peeling off its skin and fur and he then lifts up the dead rabbit and we see bloody guts covering a table; the boy roasts the rabbit and is seen eating it.► An older man shouts at a large group of teenagers partying and shoots a pistol into the air causing the teens to scatter.► A teen girl imagines herself blowing up a truck a young man was standing next to (we see the truck and young man go up in a fireball).

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
